Karl Llewellyn was philosophically the most original of the ‘American Realist’ jurists. His line of argument, sometimes misleadingly called ‘rule-scepticism’, casts doubt on received approaches to the formulation of legal rules and traditional assumptions about the part they play in law. His approach to law is an essentially functionalist one, owing much to philosophical pragmatism.
